Template:Infobox aircraft/doc

Infobox aircraft can be used for aircraft and certain other related aeronautical topics, including aircraft types and programs, and individual aircraft and their careers. It may be used to display general characteristics and features of the item, along with manufacturing details and history as appropriate. For aero engines, you should use Infobox aircraft engine.

Some parameters in the Infobox are only intended for specific classes of topic and are not recommended for use with the other kinds. If there is already a section discussing the specifications of the aeronautical item, the inclusion of specifications and performance parameters in the Infobox should be skipped.

Parameters
name
 * The subject of the article. When naming aircraft, please do not repeat the name of the manufacturer unless the name would be otherwise ambiguous. For example, "P-51 Mustang" does not need to have "North American" in front of it: the aircraft name is unambiguous and the manufacturer will be stated just a few lines down in the Type Infobox. Some exceptions exist, such as aircraft which only have model numbers; e.g. "Boeing 707".


 * image : In the format filename.xxx format with or without 'File:' tag
 * size or image_size : Allows for the specification of image size; default is 300px.
 * alt : Alt text for the image, for readers who cannot see the image. Please see WP:ALT for details.
 * image_border : set to yes to add a thin border to the image
 * caption : A short (one- or two-line) caption for the image. If it isn't descriptive, then please skip it. "Boeing 747" or "Boeing 747 in flight" should be patently obvious from the context and does not need to be captioned. "A Qantas Airlines Boeing 747-400 at Heathrow Airport in 2006" is an example of a useful caption. Captions will appeared centred in the infobox.
 * long_caption : A longer (multi-line), more detailed caption may be desirable from time to time. Long captions will appear left-justified in the infobox. Won't display if caption is defined.

other_names
 * any alternative names the particular aircraft (nicknames, nose art names) or program may have.
 * Example: "Spruce Goose" Super Jumbo, Joint Strike Fighter, Tomcat, Eagle, Dreamliner

national_origin
 * The country where the aircraft or program was manufactured or initiated. List collaborative programs of only 2 or 3 nations; for more than 3, use "Multi-national". For licensed aircraft with a separate article, include both the originating country and the licensee country for simple variants and developments. The originating country may be omitted if it is a derivative design.

manufacturer
 * the company or companies responsible for designing and building the aircraft.

design_group
 * the name of the group(s) that designed the aeronautical item. Do not list if same as the manufacturer.

designer
 * the person who designed the aircraft or led the design. Not appropriate for company chief designers, project leaders, teams, etc. unless they led the actual engineering design.

builder
 * the group that only builds the aeronautical product, but is not responsible for design of it.


 * produced
 * the date range the aircraft was built (year to year)


 * Number built
 * the total number of aircraft built

issuer
 * the government agency or other authority that issued the design and/or production contract for the aircraft or program.
 * Example:United States Air Force, NASA, European Space Agency, Ministry of Defense (Russia)

requirement
 * a formal name or a number for the requirement.

service
 * the branches of the military or other organizations that have operated the aircraft or program.
 * Example:United States Air Force, United States Navy, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qantas
 * One primary user (list one user); for military aircraft, this is a nation or a service arm. DON'T add national or service flags, per WP:FLAGICON
 * for more users, limit to three in total; list using plainlist or unbulleted list

proposals
 * any proposals for the aircrafts or careers in the specific program, that were not accepted or built.

prototypes
 * any prototype versions of the aircraft that were built.

aircraft_carried
 * type of aircraft carried, usually only for mothership aircraft


 * Developed_from
 * The (linked article) this aircraft design was developed from


 * Developed_into
 * any (separate articles) this aircraft type was developed into


 * Variations
 * variants with their own articles

Aircraft career parameters - for specific aircraft not general types

 * Type
 * What this particular aircraft is an example off eg Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress
 * Unique aircraft will not need this parameter

owners
 * the individuals or organizations that own, manage or uses the aircraft.

civil_registration
 * the registration number assigned to the aircraft for civilian use.

military_serial
 * the serial number assigned to the aircraft for military use

radio_code
 * military radio codes where this is a commonly-used way of identifying this aircraft (eg. US, British, and German military aircraft of WWII)


 * first flight
 * date of first flight


 * last flight
 * date of last flight

flights
 * number of flights made by this aircraft, usually only relevant for an aircraft no longer flying

total_hours
 * the total number of hours the aircraft has flown

total_distance
 * the total distance the aircraft has flown


 * fate
 * fate/disposition of this aircraft


 * preservation
 * where this aircraft is currently preserved (if it is)
